I expect he would - he seemed to want to play with as many bands as possible at Glastonbury. I wonder how many times he has to do that before becoming a 'bloody nuisance' rather than a 'Special guest'!They'd be fighting off Dave Grohl, who would definitely want to play drums.
With this vocal range and elasticity much diminished, he does have a tendency to sound a bit like Vic and Bob's pub singer on occasion but the band sounded great and it was only really the ballads where his limitations were noticeable. However, what an almost unrivalled catalogue of songs!
You can smirk all you like, but I’m Dill Dannon will forever be a classic song.The pub singer line reminds me of this performance during lockdown. I watch it if I ever need to cheer myself up:

I feel really lucky to have just made it when Glastonbury was cheap enough for youngsters to attend. Solo and without begging parents for finance! I first went aged 16 in 2002, when tickets were under £100. It was me and one other mate (no one else was allowed to go) and apart from a few warm cans of lager, it was all about the music. I remember getting the bus to Shepton Mallet and then surviving on disgusting own brand pasties, two tubes of pringles and orange tango for the next five days. At that age it was like being on a different planet.Looking at the crowds that attend Glastonbury I like the person who said it makes you think it’s a good time to go shopping at Waitrose, middle aged and middle class but who else could afford those prices and not sure it’s really appealing to “the kids” anymore anyway.
He was very careful to say this represented his last date so far as UK tours are concerned, rather than any actual retirement! I suspect the US won't have seen the last of him, maybe a Vegas residency is looming (I think he did one before)?
